The camera can be taken in and out from three places, including a bag full of features such as cover for rain protection on a tripod holder and a full size machine with + telephoto lens + sub camera × 2 + extra large product that can store 5 interchangeable lenses Specification Camera bag lineup "Skyborne". The same seriesGood Design AwardAwarded by "TIPA"Best Camera BagBecause it is highly evaluated compared with being selected, I decided to actually purchase and check what the fine usability, the strength, the feeling of carrying it is.

In addition, this time I purchased the smallest in the series "Skyborne 45(Tax included 30,600 yen) "and the maximum capacity"Skyborne 53(50,000 yen including tax) ".

◆ Skyborne 45

I arrived in a huge cardboard box and arrived. Compared with the 12-inch laptop on top it's a huzz that knows its size.


When opening the lid, the contents are sky.


The back is like this. The outer dimensions are 340 (W) x 490 (D) x 340 (H) and the weight is about 2.32 km.


I took it on my back. Since the pads are contained in the waist and shoulder parts, the inside of the bag does not hit the body or the belt does not dig into, so it is surprisingly comfortable. It is a backpacking similar to the backpack for mountaineering.


Pull out sacks from the bottom of the back ... ...


You can fix it by hooking a tripod. As the weight gets farther away from the center of gravity, the stability when carrying it is impaired, but it is convenient to put it in and out of the shoe.


Plastic fasteners are attached to the main opening, and the lid will never remain open even if the fastener does not function anyway.


The fastener is a general thing made of plastic and there is no water resistance etc.


When opening the outermost side, there was a case for PC inside.


It is a size that can store a 12-inch Let's note.


There are pockets for inserting pen and accessories on the inside, and it is convenient to store things to put in and out frequently, such as WiMAX router.


The depth is about 40 cm. It is possible to put B4 size magazines.


With name tag. If you write your name and phone number here, you may be informed when you forget to put it away by any chance.


Because the possession is thick and has cushioning properties, it is difficult for the belt to bite into the hands when carrying weighty equipment.


The side which becomes left as seen from the back is like this. Although there is some thickness, it looks like a backpack.


The lower fastener has a small belt fixed with magnets. This seems to be a part to make it impossible for others to open easily, but in fact it is just a design accent because it will be taken as a peron just by pulling.


There is a pot into which the battery charger etc. enters.


Since it is also connected to the inside, you can access the outside pocket even when the lid is opened.


Mini pocket with SD card and battery included.


Since it can be put in and out directly from the main compartment, it is convenient for exchanging lenses.


When opening the outermost fastener the bag gore spreads and the capacity increases only a little.


The side that looks right from the back is like this. There is no fastener on the side to access the main compartment.


Pocket with stretchy material into which PET bottles etc enter.


It is the back. Fastener is attached to the back of the sponge of the base of the shoulder strap and part of the waist hit and you can access the main compartment.


There was a belt to carry through the possession such as a carry case. When traveling at the airport etc., you can put it on the suitcase and carry it, you can use it to bring only the camera bag as baggage.


The shoulder strap carries a case for a smartphone. Because it is a stretchy material, it can correspond to terminals of various sizes while keeping fit.


The seams of the heavily weighted part were made quite hard. It carries weighty items such as cameras, lenses and tripods, so there is a sense of security for this person.


The shoulder strap has a line of light reflecting material. When you are walking in the street, when the car's light hits you it glows glaringly so you can draw attention from the driver.


The part hitting the waist and shoulder has become a mesh material and it seems to dry quickly even when sweating it.


Lumbar strips are removable. Without this, almost all the weight will be applied to the shoulder, but since it is bulky, it may be removed if you want to make it compact.


Access the top compartment by opening the zipper on the back side. Since the inside is made of cushioning material it is safe to put the camera directly. In terms of size, even with the biggest "D3S" in the Nikon camera, it is affordable.


If you remove the cushion / partition with the bottom, it will become a long bag that the notes etc. will fit completely. It seems to be useful when carrying the camera with the telephoto lens attached.


There is a part to put the lens etc when opening the fastener on the back of the back. This place is the same as the place which can be accessed from the fastener which was on the left side of the main body.


Since the partition can be removed, it can be rearranged according to the size of the lens to be stored. You can also put a spare camera, so the flexibility of the equipment widens.


There is a mesh pocket in the lid part so you can put in a blower or card reader.


Plastic "feet" are attached to the bottom, and it seems to absorb shocks even on rough on a hard ground somewhat.


Under the hip rest the rain cover is stored. If you take out it and cover the bag with Supori it will not get wet even if it rains.


When you cover it, it looks something like this. Although contents can not be taken out, it seems to guard firmly from the rain.


◆ Skyborne 53

This is a larger "Skyborne 53" box. For some reason, it is strange that the exterior is smaller this time. By the way, the size of the notebook PC in front is 12 inches.


Looking from behind like this. The size is 390 (W) × 600 (H) × 440 (D) mm.


You can see that it is about 1.5 times as large as you can see it.


It actually looks like this when you carry it. Although it is quite large, most of it is a cushion to protect the camera from impact, so even if it looks like this the weight is 3.44 kilos.


The outside pocket is about 47 cm tall. This is also with a laptop case.


There was also a mini pocket.


Also notebook case included.


Since the contents become heavier as the size increases, the number of belts supporting the fastener is increasing by one.


The main feature of "Skyborne 53" is that the main compartment can be fully opened from the outside. Instead you can not access from the back or side.


Two large sub cameras with a telephoto lens attached and five lenses enter with a margin. It is exactly an oversized size of professional.


You can keep it at Velcro so that the camera does not fall at the moment you open it.


There is a glove compartment on the side which becomes left as seen from the back, but it is not connected with the part which stores the lens etc.


◆ bonus

With the "Good Design Award Winning Memorial", the pan head (a part to hold the camera on the tripod) came in. I checked it with Amazon "BALLHEAD ball head SBH 100(7317 yen including tax) ", it was a product of a reasonable price.


The contents are main body and sub parts, instruction manual etc.


It is like this when put on a tripod. Since it is a free head with the same ball joint as a joint of a plastic model etc., you can freely change the angle.


Since the horizontal machine is also attached, it seems to be useful for taking stills and landscapes.


Both models feature robust construction and large capacity, so the impression that it is a product for professional from high amateur. For those who want to carry around a lot of photographic equipment as it is convenient when it is desired to quickly take out contents while protecting large cameras such as changing lenses and full size machines closely.
